Info№: 963161-DIME-REC-RDIS-DISC-AG-2020 Programme: Justice Programme (JUST), Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (REC) Duration: November 2020 – October 2022 Partners: Know and Can Association, Bulgaria, MIR Akademien, Sweden, CEIPES, Italy, Business College Helsinki, Finland |
Stepping on the results obtained from the detailed desk research and fieldwork on the analysis of obstacles for employment of migrants and ethnic communities in SMEs and NGOs from the perspective of employers in Bulgaria, Sweden, Italy and Finland, the partnership of DIME project continued its work on the development of the core project products, namely the Methodology and training materials on Diversity Management for SMEs and NGOs.
After one and a half year of remote work and online meetings, due to the antiepidemic travel and social restrictions, the partners of DIME project finally had the opportunity to meet in person for a transnational project meeting. The event was kindly hosted by the Swedish partner MIR Akademien in Uppsala, Sweden on 13th and 14th September 2021.
During the first half of 2021, the consortium of DIME project worked on the detailed desk research and fieldwork on the analysis of obstacles for employment of migrants and ethnic communities in SMEs and NGOs from the perspective of employers in Bulgaria, Sweden, Italy and Finland. This activity is central for the identification of the ethnic-related obstacles to equal employment and the definition of the needs of the employers for competence-development, in terms of suitable working solutions, that will then serve as a stepping stone in the development of a methodology and a training course. In this way the course will be based on a bottom-up approach, tailoring the local needs and abilities of the employers.
After a few months of a detailed desk research and fieldwork on the analysis of obstacles for employment of migrants and ethnic communities in SMEs and NGOs from the perspective of employers in Bulgaria, Know and Can Association finalized the national report on diversity management and inclusion at the work place with focus on ethnicity.
Know and Can Association would like to invite you to participate and join the focus groups and network of employers who work with employees from ethnic minorities and migrant background, as a part of the implementation of DIME project. In each partner country (Bulgaria, Sweden, Italy and Finland) a network of employers and a focus group will be set up. Each network will include the mixture of SMEs and NGOs with at least 5 organisations including those representing migrants and ethnic minorities. Each focus group will be with at least 10 employers in each partner country including those representing migrants and ethnic minorities.
